Shocking doorbell footage has emerged of a horrendous crash on a busy residential road.
The footage was shot on Granville Road in the London Borough of Hillingdon at around 2.38pm last Monday.
After being alerted via their phone about movement near the property via their Ring doorbell, the homeowner, who works as a security officer, witnessed the dramatic crash.
In the video, a white car speeds down the road before clipping a parked vehicle and then flipping on its back.
An Uber driver then shouts ‘oh sh**’ before running to the rescue as the driver climbed out the wreckage.

‘I was alerted through my phone and it was an Uber driver dropping off a food order,’ said the homeowner who captured the doorbell footage, ‘I continued to watch and could hear a loud roar coming from what sounded like a car down the road.
‘I watched on as a white car recklessly drove into another car parked right outside my house!
‘It hit with such impact the vehicle flipped over.
‘The police arrived 10 minutes later.
‘A young male, who looked like a teenager then climbed out through the back.

‘I’ve since watched it multiple times and it looks almost like a movie stunt.
‘The young boy who came out through the back of the car was in shock but didn’t appear to have any serious injuries.
‘A lot of young children live on this road so it’s a miracle that no one was hurt.
‘I was glad to see the Uber Eats driver rush to help.’
